Science On a Sphere


SOS
You won't need a spacecraft to have an astronauts-eye-view of the planets and moons in our solar system at our Science On a Sphere Theatre.

Science On a Sphere creates stunning visual effects from real scientific data, and displays them on a six-foot-diameter globe suspended from the ceiling.  The animated sphere seems to float in space -  just as an astronaut would see the Earth!

3D video projectors show the audience clear, striking images  of our Earth, storms on Jupiter, our moon Luna and MUCH more to help visitors of all ages better understand our world and our solar system.


                                     
Magic Planet   

This interactive spherical display allows visitors to delve even deeper into our solar system.  Select the sun, planets or their moons from the touch screen and watch them appear on the sphere right before your eyes!  Located at the entrance of the Science on a Sphere Theatre.
